Gauri Lankesh's Speech on Abnormality Becoming the New Normal in Karnataka

Gauri Lankesh, journalist and fearless critic of the Hindutva brigade, was shot dead yesterday in Bengaluru, Karnataka. In this speech from March 2017, she talks about Karnataka's trajectory from a progressive, secular state to a communal one. Death threats and attacks on intellectuals, leftists, women and Dalits have become common in Karnataka. If criminals carrying out such attacks remaining scot-free was the abnormal earlier, tragically now in Karnataka, abnormality is the new normal.
